Summary "The Green Hat" by Michael Arlen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character of Iris Storm, a captivating woman who enters the life of the narrator on the eve of his new beginning, bringing with her an air of mystery and complexity that seems to challenge the mundane realities of life. The novel explores themes of love, identity, and existential angst, all while offering a glimpse into the tumultuous relationships between its characters. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist, who is preparing to move to a new flat in London, encounters Iris Storm, the enigmatic sister of his friend, Gerald March, who is depicted as a struggling writer consumed by alcohol. Their interaction sets the tone for a series of introspective dialogues, as Iris grapples with her own identity and familial ties, while the protagonist reflects on his life filled with disarray. Iris's green hat becomes a symbol of her vibrant, yet troubled, nature, and the discourse highlights her struggles with societal expectations and personal desires. This opening effectively introduces the central conflict of the story, establishing a foundation for the exploration of complex human emotions and connections.
